The 600 has a two-tone “fanfare” horn that sounds like the Queen Mary’s docking signal.

Quirks:

When it debuted in 1963, the 600 was the most technologically advanced car on the road. Much of that technology, from the adjustable suspension to the sunroof to central locking, was powered by a central hydraulic system with a tendency to fail, though this car’s has been recently restored. Fuel economy is poor (what did you expect from a limousine?), and the roster of celebrity owners, in addition to the Beatle, includes infamous sweetheart Idi Amin.

Good Buy?

It ain’t cheap, but it’s a value. While you might find a $50,000 Mercedes 600 on eBay, that car might need $80,000 in work. If you’re truly interested in a fifty year-old Mercedes limousine, you want to buy the best one you can find and this is it. You’ll never make an entrance like you do in a jet-black Mercedes 600 Limousine, which is why the filmmakers of The Witches of Eastwick chose one for Jack Nicholson when he played Satan himself.
